One point that raises curiosity or, for reasons I don’t quite understand, even occasional disbelief and hostility is that not all blind people are totally blind. Many people using canes, dogs or Braille have some remaining sight. In fact, only a small percentage of blind people are totally blind.

What’s that, you say? School’s out, relatives are getting together, the frozen-turkey bin at the grocery store is empty, the Macy’s Day Thanksgiving Day parade will roll in the morning, and LSU and Arkansas will play football on Friday afternoon. Nobody’s forgotten Thanksgiving.
